Daily View, 7/5

I have never wanted to be at work LESS than I do today. Sigh.

• The new racially charged Sony PSP ads are causing quite a stir. I preferred the way Adidas examined color with adicolor...


• Google Trends. I haven't quite taken the time to figure out why this interesting yet, but apparently everyone is doing it. ???


• CouchSurfing.com dies before I have a chance to travel and check it out. Sigh.


• Um, WHY is this necessary?? Do I need a cell phone to calculate BMI and menstrual cycles?? No.


• Props to Keith Richards for having a sense of humor about homage parodies—he's agreed to play Johnny Depp's dad in Pirates of the Caribbean III.


• Hm. Cute floaty things are cute, sure but I don't need a rubber duckie in my mouse. Actually, I don't understand the rubber duck subculture. Clearly I'm missing something but I just don't find them hysterically adorable like most people seem to. WTF.


• Worth1000's latest Photoshopping contest: out of place landmarks. In this context, I can kinda see now why people think the St. Louis Arch is weird...


• Movies, illustrated Russian-style. I like the Harry Potter and the Spiderman. Actually, I'm not sure I can identify all of them... hmm....


• More from the RCA (apparently now that I've decided not to go there I am putting my energy into sneering at them. Productive? Nahhhh, but who cares.)


• Interesting info graphics from Ronald Slabbers. This type of illustration usually isn't my style, but I'm a sucker for an engaging map.


• Hahahahaha, well, at least the stuff is not going to waste: buy items from people's lost luggage.


• Ok, I don't play tennis, wear/buy leather, or even dress in a way that would condone this accessory... and yet even I am seduced by the preppie fabulousness of this Kate Spade tennis bag.


• Am always up for a good fringe religion story.
